Can I bypass control unit on Jebao DCP-2500?

My Jebao DCP-2500 pump and the power source is working fine, but the control unit is gone. Has anybody tried to connect the power source directly to the pump skipping the control unit?

Don't do that! That brushless pump need a controller to operate. Notice the 3 wires, not 2...

Not that I like it, but thank you for the answer. So I now have only spare parts because replacing the controller is just not cost effective.

I remind myself that rough stretches will pass...just keep reefing

I lean on other reefers for advice or encouragement

I simplify, step back from tinkering, and give the tank time

Honestly, sometimes I wonder if I want to keep going
